ASK A FILIPINA: #8 DISRUPT Leadership Tip From Ernestina de los Santos-Mac, M.D., President, PACCM; Global FWN100™ '13
Be credible to the public. Next-generation leaders would do well if they carefully establish their reputation. Leaders are credible only if they do whatever they are advocating. They lead by example. You should not just ‘talk the talk’ but ‘walk the walk.’ Actions speak louder than words, so back up your promises with actual delivery.

#9 DISRUPT Leadership Tip From Elena Mangahas, Board Chair, Filipina Women's Network; Co-Board Chair, Little Manila Foundation, U.S. FWN100™ '07
Know history, know self. Knowing and appreciating the depths of my being an Ilongga, my provincial origin, was a necessary step to my growing up. I felt the sense of pride in my family that had nothing do with class or social status. On the contrary it was humble and perennially humbling. Being Ilongga brought me self-confidence. It also made me interested in aspects of history that formed my Filipino-ness.
